Sudden ticking noise

[Mgibb98]

Just yesterday my 2015 ecodiesel started making a loud, almost metal on metal sounding, ticking or knocking when idling and accelerating. I did an oil change on it since the oil life was reading 2% anyways, and the knock is still there. I currently have the injectors exposed but haven't removed them since the outside around them looks clean and dry. Does anyone have any other thoughts about what could be causing it, I hope the video i took last night will play for people to listen.

Check your Oil filter for metal debris...

I did find very small metal shavings in the oil filter but none in the oil itself that I could find with a magnet

If you may be able to Rebuild this motor , if you drive for X? of miles it will self-destruct.

After listening to the recording, I agree w/ TC Diesel. Sounds like a rod knock to me.

Sounds exactly like my 2017 right after we changed the intake manifold! Im getting a misfire on cylinder 4 that wasnt there before changing the intake manifold so we also changed the #4 injector and that didn’t make a difference. A couple people say its a bent valve but I can’t find any shops near me that will even touch these trucks besides a dealer! Its been sitting for 8 months now and still making payments on it! What do you do in this situation?

Right now the truck is sitting at a mechanic, they say it's either a cracked or broken flex plate, torque converter, or counterweight, they are waiting for the first 2 parts to come on the 18th, and a broken counterweight means the engine needs to be replaced since they don't make them anymore. They are gonna wait for parts to take the engine more apart so right now all I can do is research and wait till they know more

Tell the shop to enlighten us on how Broken Flex plate or TC adds metal shavings to the oil filter? I have never heard of a 3.0 broken flex plate. That shop is going to suck up your wallet and drain your bank account.

I'm gonna let them know what I've been finding out from this post and other research I've been doing, to be fair I think I forgot to tell them that I found metal shavings in the oil filter so I'm gonna let them know next time I talk to them

OK.. Just be very cautious....If they turn it into a window block you will be $10K+ to replace....
